Snap.

Snap again...

Only four bombs? I get about eight :-((

Well I'm using an STE with TOS 1.62 (plus a whole load of other stuff 
like WinX etc) and it's exactly the same story, so I'd leave your 
chips where they are for the moment. Looks like CAB is the culprit 
here, or possibly CAB.OVL: I'm never too sure which bit does which...

Is this something "simple" like a missing environment variable or 
something? (He says never having sussed out the environment variable 
setting stuff in GEMRAM). Has anyone got this bit working, and if so, 
how?

Hmmm. You should see what happens to Netscape if our network's 
external link is down at work. Crash crash crash, BIG time. When just 
a simple alert saying it couldn't connect would do...

I'd better point out here that despite my sardonic tone above I'm 
generally well pleased with how CAB/STiK is coming on, just a little 
shocked at finding a bit that crashes as it's a long time since I came 
across a CAB instability.

Cheers,
John
